headsets :o

by crittie • 14 Jun 2007, 17:32 • Journals
Im going to buy a new headset and i cant choose between Speedlink medusa 5.1 and Steelsound 5h v2.

So I need your opinions about the headsets; which one is better, what are differences between them and so..




Thanks in advance

ET does not support 5.1, and does not have EAX for sorround sound, so it will not make a difference.

I had 3 logitech precision gayming headsets and all of them broke after a few months (I didn't drop them or anythign, they just broke)
after that I said @ the store: "FUCK YOU YOU FUCKING FUCK I WONT TAKE FUCKING 4TH PIECE OF THIS FUCKIGN SHIT FUCK GIVE ME MONEY" then they gave me money and I bought icemats :)

Quote by det5"Gaming tuned" headphone = marketing gimmick. Those companies just buy generic designs from chinese companies and paint their logo on them, like Medusa 5.1, Razer's Barracuda (also known as Turtle Beach Earforce HPA), Icemat, Steelsound (also marketed as Raptor Gaming H1, LOL) and Everglide. Excellent soundstage, positioning, detail and resolution are something that good headphone makers have from decades of experience. What they provide is quality that overpriced "gamer" crap can't compare to.

quality = Sennheiser, Beyerdynamic, Audio Technica, AKG, ...

i dont think you have tested it. I both tested, and i have to say it is as good as a sennheiser. If you dont have any xp, you should just stfu :). I remember potter darky etc on cpc II with the same headphone, sure they must be bad.

I'm *so* sorry. If Potter AND Darky both play with this headset, it definitely must be one of the best headsets/headphones/... in the world. Many play with Sennheiser HD280 Pro. Does it make the sound any better?

As good as which Sennheiser? You've compared it to one of the high-end products?

kiss 14 Jun 2007, 22:51
I've compared it with a hs of 3 euros more :).
Don't have to feel sorry, it wasnt meant offensive.

@ potter and darky: no, it doesn't, but i cant see them playing with a hs of 4 euros.

Do you compare a renault logan with a mercedes?

Give it a brand name, throw in some buzzwords and sell it for twice the price.

QuoteDo you compare a renault logan with a mercedes?

Why shouldn't I?

Compare the price plx...

A renault logan for 7500 euros and the CLS of mercedes for 125000.
Now, are you still comparing a Icemat Siberia with the top of sennheiser?

We talked about quality. Price is no characteristic of quality. (Will a 5€ headset be of higher quality when I sell it for 100€?)
Parent

kiss 15 Jun 2007, 19:54
no, but you expect it.

Do you buy a hs of 5 euro with the expectation of a headset of 100 euros?
Parent
▼
wipeout 15 Jun 2007, 21:28
Yes, you expect higher quality. But it doesn't say anything about the actual quality.

And no, I wouldn't expect a 5€ headset to be of the quality of a 100€ headset, but, coming back to your car comparison, I'd expect a Ferrari (very high price) to be of outstanding quality, which it isn't. They sell a myth.

Obviously I can (and need to?) compare cars or more general products regardless of their price.

Idd they sell a myth, but have you ever been driven in a ferrari. The sound is turning you horney, and so is the speed.
